For the beauty of the earth, For the beauty of the skies,
For the love which from our birth Over and around us lies,
Lord of all, to thee we raise This is our joyful hymn of praise
For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night
Hill and vale and tree and flower
Sun and moon and stars of light
Lord of all to thee we raise
This is our joyful hymn of praise
For the joy of human love
Brother, sister, parent, child
Friends on earth and friends above
For all gentle thoughts and mild
Lord of all to thee we raise
Our joyful hymn of praise
For each perfect gift of thine
To our race so freely given
Graces human and divine
Flow'rs of earth and buds of heaven
Lord of all to thee we raise
This is our joyful hymn of praise
